      OK, the reason for census is so that the government knows where and how to put tax dollars to work. It's not 'Big Brother', they could care less about you as an individual, they want the full picture so that tax dollars are put to their best use. And it's also a historical snapshot of your country for future reference. If you think they are interrested in you as an individual, your being narcissistic. If they asked you what your job was and you said drug dealer or wathcing pornography all day, they would mark it down and move on. THEY DON'T CARE, so stop getting so hung up on yourself, your not that special

      I did not recieve a census in the mail, so I called them about it. The idiot told me to keep waiting, it'll arrive. Still waiting..... Hey, I tried.

        BE HAPPY!!! If you get one and don't fill it out, they come to your house to get it! If it's not done, they will wait for you to fill it out, but not before calling you four thousand times asking for one! They got NUTS if they don't get it. Try it. If you get one next time, delay in replying....... you'll have all the attention you could ever want by a bunch of mysterious government employees!! It's kinda creepy actually.

        This happened to me recently. I tried to ignore them but they didn't quit. Like they were harassing to get what they wanted to know. They even threatened at one point when I refused to answer one of their questions.

        I would say they get paid to get your information..they wouldn't have to harrass anyone if it was right the first time

      I find it creepy with the amount of information wanted,

      Here in the united states when they come around telling me to fill it out, i tell them i only have to fill out the amount of people living here and NOTHING more. They become very angry saying i could be arrested, ofc i tell them that sounds great, would you like to use my phone or do you have a phone to call them? I'll be waiting in my house, just knock on the door when the police arrive. :)

        Oh I hear you there. It is getting out of hand with the info gathering. I would hate to make comparisons but it reminds me of a couple of movies I've seen set during the WWII era. Just wait, one day the police won't even bother knocking, they'll kick it down lol

      I find it amazing that Tokyo is more populated than the entire country of Canada, the second largest (in land mass)? Staggering....
      • Moonruins 2 months ago
        What is really staggering is with all this space up here I still get stuck in rush hour traffic 5 days a week. I wonder what the traffic is like in Tokyo ?? Anyway that is crazy yes, even the state of California has more people than we do lol

      i didn't receive any census here in Quebec, Canada.. No one came around here, and i always fill out census forms..
      • Dan Druff 2 months ago
        we don't consider you canadian hahaha

        Quebec is a country within a country. So, I guess one of those countries doesn't count if they don't have to do a census like everyone else.
    • Mynovembertears  •  Toronto, Ontario  •  3 months ago
      we're screwed!
    • .  •  Toronto, Ontario  •  3 months ago
      so this census tells us Canada's population is increasing overall, more in some places and less in others, moreover some places are loosing population. do we need a census to know this?.
      would this information not be gathered from SIN and every province's health care system with a centralized computer?
      • skywalker51_1948 3 months ago
        exactly, all the census does is provide more work for more people, its a make work project, no other purpose whatsoever
    • Abee  •  Toronto, Ontario  •  3 months ago
      adding population will only make BAD politician's bickering worse .. best suckers will always out do each others... ergo, more fights and blah blah blahs .. sucking up most of the taxpayers hard earned money at their disposal.
    • JPK  •  3 months ago

      Interesting and funny fact! If the united states purchased saskatchewan they would be giving the world the middle finger. Look on a map
